The Company believes that our cash on hand, working capital (net of cash), cash expected to be generated from our operating forecast, along with the availability of cash from our credit facilities (See Note 7 –FINANCING) will be adequate to meet the Company’s liquidity requirements for at least twelve months from the date of this report. While the Company is optimistic that it will be successful in these efforts to achieve our plan, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in doing so. As such, the Company has a continued support letter from its largest stockholder, Ault Alliance, through August 31, 2024.
NOTE 4 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its Macau Subsidiary, SMH, SMCL, and SMCM. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation for all periods presented. The accompanying unaudited financial statements for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) applicable to interim financial information and the requirements of Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by US GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements.
In the opinion of management, such condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for the fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial position and the condensed consolidated results of operations. The condensed consolidated results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The condensed consolidated balance sheet information as of March 31, 2023 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with that report.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The Singing Machine makes estimates and assumptions in the ordinary course of business relating to sales returns and allowances, warranty reserves, inventory reserves and reserves for promotional incentives that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty; therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Historically, past changes to these estimates have not had a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. However, circumstances could change which may alter future expectations.
COLLECTABILITY OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
The
Singing Machine’s allowance for doubtful accounts is based on management’s estimates of the creditworthiness of its
customers, current economic conditions and historical information, and, in the opinion of management, is believed to be in an amount
sufficient to respond to normal business conditions. Management sets

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
The functional currency of SMH is the Hong Kong dollar. The financial statements of the subsidiary are translated to U.S. dollars using period-end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange for the period for revenues, costs, and expenses. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions are recorded in the statements of operations and translations would be recorded in a separate component of shareholders’ equity. Any such amounts were not material during the periods presented.
SMC sells to distributors and retailers in the Canadian market, and is paid in Canadian dollars. We receive payment in the form of the Canadian dollar, simultaneously presenting these payments for deposit and requesting an immediate spot conversion by the financial institution that currently holds our operating accounts. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions are recorded in the statements of operations and translations would be recorded in a separate component of shareholders’ equity. Any such amounts were not material during the periods presented.
Concentration of Credit Risk
At
times, the Company maintains cash in United States bank accounts that are more than the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
insured amounts. The Company also maintains cash balances in foreign financial institutions. The amounts at foreign financial
institutions as of June 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023 were approximately $
Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist of accounts receivable.
INVENTORY
Inventories
are comprised primarily of electronic karaoke equipment, microphones and accessories, and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable
value, as determined using the first in, first out method. Inventories also include an estimate for the net realizable value of expected
future inventory returns due to warranty and allowance programs. As of June 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, the estimated amounts for these
future inventory returns were approximately $
The
Company reduces inventory on hand to its net realizable value on an item-by-item basis when it is apparent that the expected realizable
value of an inventory item falls below its original cost. A charge to cost of sales results when the estimated net realizable value of
specific inventory items declines below cost. Management regularly reviews the Company’s investment in inventories for such declines
in value. As of June 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, the Company had inventory reserves of approximately $
LONG-LIVED ASSETS
The
Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever circumstances and situations change such that there is an indication that the
carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If the undiscounted future cash flows attributable to the related assets are less than the carrying
amount, the carrying amounts are reduced to fair value and an impairment loss is recognized in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards
Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360-10-05, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal
of Long-Lived Assets.”
During
the first quarter ended June 30, 2023, we decided not to renew our lease on our California warehouse facility and have opted to
transfer our logistics operations to a third-party logistics company and all assets located at this facility will be sold or
otherwise disposed of by the end of August 2023. We recognized accelerated depreciation expense on certain assets to be sold in the
amount of approximately $

LEASES
The Company follows FASB ASC 842, “Leases”. The ASC requires lessees to recognize leases on the balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The standard establishes a right-of-use model (ROU) that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than twelve months. Leases are classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement. (See Note 8– LEASES).
The Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease at the inception of a contract. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date. The liability is equal to the present value of the remaining minimum lease payments. The asset is based on the liability, subject to certain adjustments. Operating leases result in straight-line expense (similar to operating leases under the prior accounting standard) while finance leases result in a front-loaded expense pattern (similar to capital leases under the prior accounting standard). As the interest rate implicit in the Company’s operating leases is not readily determinable, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate to discount the lease payments. The Company utilizes the financing interest rate for its finance leases.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is provided for in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of depreciable assets to their estimated useful lives using accelerated and straight-line methods.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
We follow FASB ASC 825, “Financial Instruments”, which requires disclosures of information about the fair value of certain financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value. For purposes of this disclosure, the fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation.
The carrying amounts of the Company’s short-term financial instruments, including accounts receivable, due from related parties, accounts payable, accrued expenses, customer deposits and refunds due to customers, approximates fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments. The carrying amounts on the finance leases and installment notes approximate fair value either due to the relatively short period to maturity or the related interest is accrued at a rate similar to market rates. The carrying amounts on the revolving line of credit approximates fair value due the relatively short period to maturity and related interest accrued at market rates.
REVENUE RECOGNITION AND RESERVE FOR SALES RETURNS
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with FASB ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. All revenue is generated from contracts with customers. The Company recognizes revenue when the control of the goods sold is transferred to the customer, in an amount, referred to as the transaction price, that reflects the consideration to which the Company is expected to be entitled in exchange for those goods. The Company determines revenue recognition utilizing the following five steps: (1) identification of the contract with a customer, (2) identification of the performance obligations in the contract (promised goods or services that are distinct), (3) determination of the transaction price, (4) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations, and (5) recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company transfers control of the product or service for each performance obligation.
The
Company selectively participates in a retailer’s co-op promotion incentives to maximize sales of the Company’s products on
the retail floor or to assist in developing consumer awareness of new product launches, by providing marketing fund allowances to our
customers. As these co-op promotion initiatives are not a distinct good or service and the Company cannot reasonably estimate the fair
value of the benefit it receives from these arrangements, the cost of these allowances at the time they are offered to the customers
are recorded as a reduction to net sales. For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, co-op promotion incentives were approximately
$

THE SINGING MACHINE COMPANY, INC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2023 and 2022
(Unaudited)
The Company’s contracts with customers consist of one performance obligation (the sale of the Company’s products). The Company’s contracts have no financing elements, payment terms are less than 120 days and have no further contract asset or liability obligations once control of goods is transferred to the customer. Revenue is recorded in the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive for the sale of these goods.
Costs incurred in fulfilling contracts with customers include administrative costs associated with the procurement of goods are included in general and administrative expenses, in-bound freight costs are included in the cost of goods sold and accrued sales representative commissions are included in selling expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations as our underlying customer agreements are less than one year.
While the Company has no overstock return privileges in its vendor agreements with its customers, the Company does provide for variable consideration contingent upon the occurrence of uncertain future events. Variable consideration is estimated at the expected value or at the most likely amount depending on the type of consideration. Estimated amounts are included in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved.
The
Company estimates variable consideration under our return allowance programs for goods returned from the customer for various
reasons, whereby a sales return reserve is recorded based on historic return amounts, specific events as identified and management
estimates. The Company’s reserve for sales returns as of June 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023 were approximately $
The Company disaggregates revenues by product line and major geographic region as most of its revenue is generated by the sales of karaoke hardware and the Company has no other material business segments (See NOTE 10 – SEGMENT INFORMATION).
Revenue is derived from five different major product lines. Disaggregated revenue from these product lines for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 consisted of the following:
| Three Months Ended | ||||||||
| Product Line | June 30, 2023 | June 30, 2022 | ||||||

SHIPPING AND HANDLING COSTS
Shipping
and handling activities are performed before the customer obtains control of the goods sold to them and are considered activities to
fulfill the Company’s promise to transfer the goods. For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, shipping and handling expenses
were approximately $

The
Company follows the provisions of the FASB ASC 718-20, “Compensation – Stock Compensation Awards Classified as Equity”.
ASC 718-20 requires all stock-based payments to employees including grants of employee stock options, be measured at fair value and expensed
in the condensed consolidated statements of operations over the service period (generally the vesting period). The Company uses the Black-Scholes
option valuation model to value stock options. Employee stock option compensation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and
2022 includes the estimated fair value of options granted, amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the
entire portion of the award. For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the stock option expense was approximately $
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS
Research
and development costs are charged to results of operations as incurred. These expenses are shown as a component of general and administrative
expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, these amounts totaled
approximately $
INCOME TAXES
The Company follows the provisions of FASB ASC 740 “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributed to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax base. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. If it is more likely than not that some portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recognized. As of June 30, 2023, and March 31, 2023, the Company had recognized a valuation allowance of the entire net deferred tax asset as management has determined it was more likely than not that the deferred tax asset would be realized.
The
Company recognizes a liability for uncertain tax positions. An uncertain tax position is defined as a position in a previously filed
tax return or a position expected to be taken in a future tax return that is not based on clear and unambiguous tax law and which is
reflected in measuring current or deferred income tax assets and liabilities for interim or annual periods. The Company may recognize
the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination
by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company measures the tax benefits recognized based on the
largest benefit that has a
As of June 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, there were no uncertain tax positions that resulted in any adjustment to the Company’s provision for income taxes. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in its provision for income taxes. The Company currently has no liabilities recorded for accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax provisions.

Basic net income (loss) per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution assuming shares of common stock were issued upon the exercise of outstanding in-the-money options and the proceeds thereof were used to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at the average market price during the period using the treasury stock method.
For the three months ended June 30, 2023, options to purchase shares of common stock and common stock warrants were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share as the result would have been anti-dilutive.
For the three months ended June 30, 2022, options to purchase shares of common stock and common stock warrants were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share as the result would have been anti-dilutive.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses” (Topic 326). This ASU represents a significant change in the current accounting model by requiring immediate recognition of management’s estimates of current expected credit losses. Under the prior model, losses were recognized only as they were incurred, which delayed recognition of expected losses that might not yet have met the threshold of being probable. The Company adopted ASU 2016-03 on April 1, 2023 and the adoption did not have any material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The objective of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation is to allow investors to view the Company from management’s perspective, considering items that would have a material impact on future operations.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes included elsewhere in this quarterly report. This document contains certain forward-looking statements including, among others, anticipated trends in our financial condition and results of operations and our business strategy. (See Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors “). These forward-looking statements are based largely on our current expectations and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from these forward-looking statements.
Statements included in this quarterly report that do not relate to present or historical conditions are called “forward-looking statements.” Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements may include, without limitation, statements relating to our plans, strategies, objectives, expectations and intentions. Words such as “believes,” “forecasts,” “intends,” “possible,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “plans,” “should,” “could,” “will,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.
Our ability to predict or project future results or the effect of events on our operating results is inherently uncertain. Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the times at, or by which, such performance or results will be achieved.
Important factors to consider in evaluating such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: (i) changes in external factors or in our internal budgeting process which might impact trends in our results of operations; (ii) unanticipated working capital or other cash requirements; (iii) changes in our business strategy or an inability to execute our strategy due to unanticipated changes in the industries in which we operate; and (iv) the effects of adverse general economic conditions, both within the United States and globally, (v) vendor price increases and decreased margins due to competitive pricing during the economic downturn (vi)various competitive market factors that may prevent us from competing successfully in the marketplace and (vii) other factors described in the risk factors section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, this Quarterly Report on 10-Q, or in our other filings made with the SEC.
Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect management’s opinions only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to revise or publicly release the results of any revision to these forward-looking statements.
OVERVIEW
The Singing Machine Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company,” “SMC”, “The Singing Machine”), and wholly-owned subsidiaries SMC (Comercial Offshore De Macau) Limitada (“Macau Subsidiary”), SMC Logistics, Inc. (“SMCL”), SMC-Music, Inc. (“SMCM”) and SMC (HK) Limited (“SMH”), are primarily engaged in the development, marketing, and sale of consumer karaoke audio equipment, accessories and musical recordings. The products are sold directly to distributors and retail customers.
| 23 |
Our products are sold throughout North America, Europe and Australia primarily through major mass merchandisers and warehouse clubs, on-line retailers and to a lesser extent department stores, lifestyle merchants, direct mail catalogs and showrooms, music and record stores, and specialty stores.
Representative customers include Amazon, Best Buy, BJ’s Wholesale, Costco, Sam’s Club, Target, and Wal-Mart. Our business has historically been subject to seasonal fluctuations causing our revenues to vary from quarter to quarter and between the same periods in different fiscal years. Our products are manufactured for the most part based on the purchase indications of our customers. We are uncertain of how significantly our business would be harmed by a prolonged economic recession, but we anticipate that continued contraction of consumer spending would negatively affect our revenues and profit margins.
Sales of consumer electronics and toy products in the retail channel are highly seasonal, with a majority of retail sales occurring during the period from September through December in anticipation of the holiday season, which includes Christmas. A substantial majority of our sales occur during the second quarter ending September 30 and the third quarter ending December 31. Sales in our second and third quarter, combined, accounted for approximately 62% and 81% of net sales in fiscal 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Recent Developments
ATM Offering
On February 15, 2023, we entered into an At-The-Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with Aegis Capital Corp, as sales agent (the “Agent”), pursuant to which we could offer and sell, from time to time, through the Agent (the “ATM Offering”), up to approximately $1.8 million in shares of its common stock. Shares offered and sold in the ATM Offering were issued pursuant to the registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-269183) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on January 11, 2023 and declared effective by the SEC on January 20, 2023, and the prospectus supplement relating to the ATM Offering filed with the SEC on February 15, 2023.
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, we received total net proceeds from the ATM Offering of approximately $36,000 on sales of 14,230 shares of common stock at an average price of $2.56 per share. Through May 12, 2023, we sold 1,067,000 shares of common stock through the ATM Offering at an average price of approximately $1.64 per share for gross proceeds of approximately $1,745,000. We received net cash proceeds of approximately $1,690,000 after payment of brokerage commissions and administrative fees to the agent. The ATM Offering closed May 12, 2023.
Acquisition
On June 13, 2022, Ault Alliance, Inc., Ault Lending, LLC (a subsidiary of Ault Alliance) and Milton C. Ault III (“Ault”), Founder and Executive Chairman of Ault Alliance (collectively the “Reporting Persons”) filed a joint Schedule 13D filing (the “Schedule 13D”) reporting that the Reporting Persons acquired, in the aggregate, 52.8% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock at the date of the filing of the Schedule 13D, par value $.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) of the Company, through open market purchases.
As disclosed in the Schedule 13D, as amended, and subsequent Section 16 filings, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 1,808,000 shares of our common stock, or approximately 42.8% of our outstanding shares of common stock as of the date of this report. The reduction in beneficial ownership percentage was a result of us selling share of our common stock in our ATM Offering, and not from any sales of our common stock by Ault Lending.
| 24 |
Public Offering
On May 23, 2022, the “Company entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Aegis Capital Corp., who acted as the sole underwriter (the “Underwriter”), in a firm commitment underwritten public offering pursuant to which the Company sold to the Underwriter 1,000,000 shares of its common stock for gross proceeds of $4,000,000 prior to deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses of approximately $637,000. The price to the public in the offering was $4.00 per Share, before underwriting discounts and commissions. The offering closed on May 26, 2022. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $3,363,000.
Pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company agreed to issue to the Underwriter warrants to purchase up to 100,000 shares of common stock representing 10% of the Shares sold in the offering, excluding any shares sold through the over-allotment option. The warrants are exercisable six months from the commencement of sales under the offering, have an exercise price of $5.00 per share and expire five years from the date of issuance. The Company estimated the fair value of these warrants to be approximately $244,000 using the Black-Scholes Model based on the following input assumptions: common stock price of $2.90, expected life of the warrants of 3 years; stock price volatility of 176%; dividend yield of 0%; and the risk-free interest rate of 2.63%.
Appointment of New Directors
Effective April 5, 2023, the size of our Board of Directors was increased to ten and Messrs. Milton C. Ault, III and Henry C. W. Nisser were appointed as directors. In addition, the Board appointed Mr. Ault to the position of Executive Chairman, an executive officer position of the Company.
INFLATION AND UNFAVORABLE ECONOMIC CONDITIONS COULD NEGATIVELY AFFECT OUR OPERATIONS AND RESULTS.
Unfavorable global or regional economic conditions may be triggered by numerous developments beyond our control, including inflation, geopolitical events, health crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic, and other events that trigger economic volatility on a global or regional basis. Those types of unfavorable economic conditions could adversely affect our business and financial results. In particular, a significant deterioration in economic conditions, including economic slowdowns or recessions, increased unemployment levels, inflationary pressures or disruptions to credit and capital markets, could lead to decreased consumer confidence and consumer spending more generally, thus reducing consumer demand for our products.

QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2023 COMPARED TO THE QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2022
NET SALES
Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2023 decreased to approximately $2,625,000 from approximately $11,692,000 representing a decrease of approximately $9,067,000 (77.5%) as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. The significant decrease in net sales was primarily due to two factors during the quarter ended June 30, 2022, 1) the impact of a large order for initial setup in a new department from our largest single customer, and 2) accelerated direct import sales by another of our largest customers.
First, the initial product set in the quarter ended June 30, 2022 was placed by the Company’s largest single customer, which expanded its commercial relationship with SMC to include its consumer electronics department. This single order contributed approximately $3,140,000 to sales in the first three months ended June 30, 2022, which represented 27% of all sales during that period, and 35% of the difference in sales in the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2023.
The second significant factor for the exceptionally high sales during the three months ended June 30, 2022 was due to one sizable direct import order. This direct import order accelerated revenue recognition to the date the customer took receipt of the product in China from our contract manufacturers, instead of opting to take receipt of the product at the date of shipment from our logistics facility in Ontario, California. This accelerated revenue recognition by over two months, shifting sales from the traditional second quarter period to the first quarter. The total amount of these two orders was approximately $3,530,000, representing 30.2% of sales for the quarter and 38.9% of the difference in sales when compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023.
| 26 |
Overall, we have seen customers shifting back to the traditional just-in-time buying pattern that was common for many years prior to the COVID global pandemic. Historically, the first quarter has represented a low point in our seasonal sales cycle. To further illustrate this point, first quarter sales since 2017 have averaged approximately $3,760,000, excluding the first quarter of 2022. Outside of the 2020-2022 supply distortions due to the pandemic, first quarter sales have not generally exceeded 10% of annual sales.
In general, sales for the three months June 30, 2023 were in line or slightly below management’s expectations, with the majority of the difference due to several customers electing to make final orders slightly later in the calendar year than previously forecast.
GROSS PROFIT
Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2023 decreased to approximately $848,000 from approximately $3,181,000, representing a decrease of approximately $2,332,000 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. The Company improved gross margins from 27.2% to 32.3%, which generated approximately $135,000 in higher gross income than if the prior periods margins had remained unchanged. The improvement in gross margins was in part due to the significant decrease in direct import sales as a component of sales during the three months ended June 30, 2023. Historically, direct import sales carry a 3-5% lower gross margin than sales fulfilled domestically by SMC.
The second significant contributing factor for the improvement in margins was lower shipping and handling costs as the Company continues to see lower costs for product delivery after an extended period of higher shipping costs during the supply chain constraints resulting from the global pandemic in 2020 through early 2022.
OPERATING EXPENSES
During the three months ended June 30, 2023, total operating expenses increased to approximately $3,280,000 compared to approximately $3,034,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2022. This represents an increase in total operating expenses of approximately $246,000 (8.1%) from the three months ended June 30, 2022.
The increase in operating expenses is primarily due to the impact of the Company’s decision to transition to an outsourced logistics model. First, there was approximately $60,000 in severance expenses for head count reduction. Second, there was approximately $118,000 in various costs incurred with the closure of the Ontario facility, the transportation of the inventory to the outsourced logistics provider, and the increase in depreciation of approximately $122,000.
Beyond the closure of the Ontario facility, the Company also incurred higher accounting and legal expenses due to increased audit and legal services required to support certain aspects of being a company under common control. Lastly, the Company spent approximately $100,000 on consulting and legal services for marketing research.
Virtually all other selling, general and administrative expenses were flat or decreased during the first three months of fiscal year 2024.
INCOME FROM OPERATIONS
There was a loss from operations of approximately $2,431,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to income from operations of approximately $147,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease in income from operations of approximately $2,578,000 was primarily due to the decrease in gross profit generated by lower net sales as explained above.
OTHER EXPENSES
Other expenses were approximately $29,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to approximately $168,000 in other expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2022. All of the reduction in expenses were due to lower interest and financing costs.
| 27 |
INCOME TAXES
For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company did not recognize any income tax benefit due to a net loss as management determined it is more likely than not that the Company will not recognize any deferred tax asset generated from the net loss.
For the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recognized an income tax benefit of approximately $0 and $5,000, respectively, due to management’s best estimate of the Company’s full year effective tax rate of approximately 24.1%.
NET LOSS
For the three months ended June 30, 2023, we reported a net loss of approximately $2,460,000 compared to a net loss of approximately $16,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in the net loss was primarily due to the same reasons discussed in Net Sales and Operating Expenses.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of June 30, 2023, the Company had cash on hand of approximately $1,890,000 as compared to cash on hand of approximately $2,278,000 as of June 30, 2022. We had working capital of approximately $8,644,000 as of June 30, 2023.
Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $2,548,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2023. During the three months ended June 30, 2023 there was a decrease in accounts receivable of approximately $1,382,000 due to a decrease in sales to one of our major customers as discussed in net sales above. This decrease in accounts receivable was offset by an increase in inventory of approximately $1,100,000 due to products arriving for the upcoming season. There was a decrease in accrued expenses of approximately $970,000 and reserves for sales returns of approximately $568,000 primarily related to the settlement of co-op incentives and credits for sales returns accrued at March 31, 2023 and the significant decrease in net sales requiring less accruals for co-op incentives and sales returns as of June 30, 2023. There was an increase in prepaid expenses of approximately $207,000 primarily due to a prepayment of a promotion and marketing campaign for our Carpool Karaoke product.
Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $4,149,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2022. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, there was an increase in accounts receivable of approximately $7,002,000 due to an increase in sales to two major customers as explained in net sales above. This increase in net cash used in operating activities was offset by an increase in in accounts payable and accrued expenses of approximately $1,839,000 primarily due to payment of prior season’s inventory that arrived late due to global logistics issues. There was a decrease in inventory of approximately $1,205,000 primarily due to a decrease in-transit inventory from March 31, 2022 as new product for the initial spring product set at one major customer was shipped during the three months ended June 30, 2022.
Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was approximately $43,000 and $22,000, respectively. These investments consisted primarily of purchases of molds and tooling for new products.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was approximately $1,586,000 and $4,159,000, respectively. In both instances, the primary source of cash from financings was the result of an equity capital markets transaction. In May 2023, we received net proceeds of approximately $1,604,000 through an ATM Offering as discussed below. All proceeds were used for working capital and general corporate purposes.
On February 15, 2023, we entered into an At-The-Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with Aegis Capital Corp, as sales agent (the “Agent”), pursuant to which we could offer and sell, from time to time, through the Agent (the “ATM Offering”), up to approximately $1,800,000 in shares of its common stock. Shares offered and sold in the ATM Offering were issued pursuant to the registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-269183) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on January 11, 2023 and declared effective by the SEC on January 20, 2023, and the prospectus supplement relating to the ATM Offering filed with the SEC on February 15, 2023.
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, we received total net proceeds from the ATM Offering of approximately $36,000 on sales of 14,230 shares of common stock at an average price of $2.56 per share. Through May 12, 2023, we received total net proceeds from the ATM Offering of approximately $1,604,000 on sales of 1,052,770 shares of common stock at an average price of $1.64 per share. The ATM Offering closed May 12, 2023.

In May 2022, we received net proceeds of approximately $3,363,000 from a public offering we executed in conjunction with our up-listing to Nasdaq as discussed below. In addition, during the three-months ended June 30, 2022, we received proceeds of approximately $816,000 from the exercise of pre-funded and common stock warrants. All proceeds were used for working capital and general corporate purposes.
On May 23, 2022, the “Company entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Aegis Capital Corp., who acted as the sole underwriter (the “Underwriter”), in a firm commitment underwritten public offering (the “Offering”) pursuant to which the Company sold to the Underwriter 1,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share gross proceeds of $4,000,000 prior to deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses of approximately $637,000. The price to the public in the Offering was $4.00 per Share, before underwriting discounts and commissions. The offering closed on May 26, 2022. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $3,363,000 which was used for working capital and general corporate purposes.
Credit Facility - We currently have a three-year revolving Credit Facility with Fifth Third Bank for a $15.0 million facility (decreasing to $7.5 million in off-peak season) on eligible accounts receivable and inventory which terminates on October 14, 2025. As of the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report, there was approximately $1.5 million available to borrow on the revolving Credit Facility.
As of March 31, 2023, we were in default under the Credit Agreement due to non-compliance with the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant of 1:05 : 1.0. On May 19, 2023, we executed a Waiver and First Amendment agreement which provides for a waiver of previous defaults and new financial covenants. We must comply monthly with minimum liquidity (defined as excess loan availability plus cash on hand) of $2.5 million between February and July and $4.0 million between September and June. We must also maintain pre-defined minimum operating cash flows between February and August 2023, until we achieve a fixed charge ratio of 1.15 : 1.0 beginning in September 2023 and throughout the remaining term of the Credit Agreement. As of the date of filing this Quarterly Report, we are in compliance with the amended covenants and there is no outstanding balance on the Credit Facility.
We believe that our cash on hand, working capital (net of cash), cash expected to be generated from our operating forecast, along with the availability of cash from our credit facilities (See Note 7 –FINANCING) will be adequate to meet the Company’s liquidity requirements for at least twelve months from the filing of this report. While the Company is optimistic that it will be successful in these efforts to achieve our plan, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in doing so. As such, the Company has a continued support letter from its largest stockholder, Ault Alliance, through August 31, 2024.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company’s interim financial statements were prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, which require management to make subjective decisions, assessments and estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. As the number of variables and assumptions affecting the judgement increases such judgements become even more subjective. While management believes that its assumptions are reasonable and appropriate, actual results may be materially different than estimated. The critical accounting estimates and assumptions have not materially changed from those identified in the Company’s Annual Report for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023.

Based upon this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b) Changes in Internal Controls

| SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | NOTE 4 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its Macau Subsidiary, SMH, SMCL, and SMCM. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation for all periods presented. The accompanying unaudited financial statements for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) applicable to interim financial information and the requirements of Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by US GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements.
In the opinion of management, such condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for the fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial position and the condensed consolidated results of operations. The condensed consolidated results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The condensed consolidated balance sheet information as of March 31, 2023 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with that report.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The Singing Machine makes estimates and assumptions in the ordinary course of business relating to sales returns and allowances, warranty reserves, inventory reserves and reserves for promotional incentives that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty; therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Historically, past changes to these estimates have not had a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. However, circumstances could change which may alter future expectations.
COLLECTABILITY OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
The Singing Machine’s allowance for doubtful accounts is based on management’s estimates of the creditworthiness of its customers, current economic conditions and historical information, and, in the opinion of management, is believed to be in an amount sufficient to respond to normal business conditions. Management sets 100% reserves for customers in bankruptcy and other allowances based upon forecasted collections and historical collection experience. The Company is subject to chargebacks from customers for co-op program incentives, defective returns, return freight and handling charges that are deducted from open invoices and reduce collectability of open invoices. Should business conditions deteriorate or any major customer default on its obligations to the Company, this allowance may need to be significantly increased, which would have a negative impact on operations.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
The functional currency of SMH is the Hong Kong dollar. The financial statements of the subsidiary are translated to U.S. dollars using period-end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange for the period for revenues, costs, and expenses. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions are recorded in the statements of operations and translations would be recorded in a separate component of shareholders’ equity. Any such amounts were not material during the periods presented.
SMC sells to distributors and retailers in the Canadian market, and is paid in Canadian dollars. We receive payment in the form of the Canadian dollar, simultaneously presenting these payments for deposit and requesting an immediate spot conversion by the financial institution that currently holds our operating accounts. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions are recorded in the statements of operations and translations would be recorded in a separate component of shareholders’ equity. Any such amounts were not material during the periods presented.
Concentration of Credit Risk
At times, the Company maintains cash in United States bank accounts that are more than the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured amounts. The Company also maintains cash balances in foreign financial institutions. The amounts at foreign financial institutions as of June 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023 were approximately $23,000 and $174,000, respectively. The Company regularly monitors the financial stability of these financial institutions and believes that it is not exposed to any significant credit risk in cash and cash equivalents. However, in March and April 2023, certain U.S. government banking regulators took steps to intervene in the operations of certain financial institutions due to liquidity concerns, which caused general heightened uncertainties in financial markets. While these events have not had a material direct impact on the Company’s operations, if further liquidity and financial stability concerns arise with respect to banks and financial institutions, either nationally or in specific regions, the Company’s ability to access cash or enter into new financing arrangements may be threatened, which could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.
Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist of accounts receivable.
INVENTORY
Inventories are comprised primarily of electronic karaoke equipment, microphones and accessories, and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, as determined using the first in, first out method. Inventories also include an estimate for the net realizable value of expected future inventory returns due to warranty and allowance programs. As of June 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, the estimated amounts for these future inventory returns were approximately $116,000 and $555,000, respectively.
The Company reduces inventory on hand to its net realizable value on an item-by-item basis when it is apparent that the expected realizable value of an inventory item falls below its original cost. A charge to cost of sales results when the estimated net realizable value of specific inventory items declines below cost. Management regularly reviews the Company’s investment in inventories for such declines in value. As of June 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, the Company had inventory reserves of approximately $710,000 and $900,000, respectively, for estimated excess and obsolete inventory.
LONG-LIVED ASSETS
The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever circumstances and situations change such that there is an indication that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If the undiscounted future cash flows attributable to the related assets are less than the carrying amount, the carrying amounts are reduced to fair value and an impairment loss is recognized in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360-10-05, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” No impairment was recorded as of June 30, 2023 and 2022.
During the first quarter ended June 30, 2023, we decided not to renew our lease on our California warehouse facility and have opted to transfer our logistics operations to a third-party logistics company and all assets located at this facility will be sold or otherwise disposed of by the end of August 2023. We recognized accelerated depreciation expense on certain assets to be sold in the amount of approximately $122,000 to reflect their adjusted fair market value as of June 30, 2023.
THE SINGING MACHINE COMPANY, INC AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2023 and 2022 (Unaudited)
LEASES
The Company follows FASB ASC 842, “Leases”. The ASC requires lessees to recognize leases on the balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The standard establishes a right-of-use model (ROU) that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than twelve months. Leases are classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement. (See Note 8– LEASES).
The Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease at the inception of a contract. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date. The liability is equal to the present value of the remaining minimum lease payments. The asset is based on the liability, subject to certain adjustments. Operating leases result in straight-line expense (similar to operating leases under the prior accounting standard) while finance leases result in a front-loaded expense pattern (similar to capital leases under the prior accounting standard). As the interest rate implicit in the Company’s operating leases is not readily determinable, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate to discount the lease payments. The Company utilizes the financing interest rate for its finance leases.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is provided for in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of depreciable assets to their estimated useful lives using accelerated and straight-line methods.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
We follow FASB ASC 825, “Financial Instruments”, which requires disclosures of information about the fair value of certain financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value. For purposes of this disclosure, the fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation.
The carrying amounts of the Company’s short-term financial instruments, including accounts receivable, due from related parties, accounts payable, accrued expenses, customer deposits and refunds due to customers, approximates fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments. The carrying amounts on the finance leases and installment notes approximate fair value either due to the relatively short period to maturity or the related interest is accrued at a rate similar to market rates. The carrying amounts on the revolving line of credit approximates fair value due the relatively short period to maturity and related interest accrued at market rates.
REVENUE RECOGNITION AND RESERVE FOR SALES RETURNS
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with FASB ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. All revenue is generated from contracts with customers. The Company recognizes revenue when the control of the goods sold is transferred to the customer, in an amount, referred to as the transaction price, that reflects the consideration to which the Company is expected to be entitled in exchange for those goods. The Company determines revenue recognition utilizing the following five steps: (1) identification of the contract with a customer, (2) identification of the performance obligations in the contract (promised goods or services that are distinct), (3) determination of the transaction price, (4) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations, and (5) recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company transfers control of the product or service for each performance obligation.
The Company selectively participates in a retailer’s co-op promotion incentives to maximize sales of the Company’s products on the retail floor or to assist in developing consumer awareness of new product launches, by providing marketing fund allowances to our customers. As these co-op promotion initiatives are not a distinct good or service and the Company cannot reasonably estimate the fair value of the benefit it receives from these arrangements, the cost of these allowances at the time they are offered to the customers are recorded as a reduction to net sales. For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, co-op promotion incentives were approximately $91,000 and $296,000, respectively.
THE SINGING MACHINE COMPANY, INC AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2023 and 2022 (Unaudited)
The Company’s contracts with customers consist of one performance obligation (the sale of the Company’s products). The Company’s contracts have no financing elements, payment terms are less than 120 days and have no further contract asset or liability obligations once control of goods is transferred to the customer. Revenue is recorded in the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive for the sale of these goods.
Costs incurred in fulfilling contracts with customers include administrative costs associated with the procurement of goods are included in general and administrative expenses, in-bound freight costs are included in the cost of goods sold and accrued sales representative commissions are included in selling expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations as our underlying customer agreements are less than one year.
While the Company has no overstock return privileges in its vendor agreements with its customers, the Company does provide for variable consideration contingent upon the occurrence of uncertain future events. Variable consideration is estimated at the expected value or at the most likely amount depending on the type of consideration. Estimated amounts are included in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved.
The Company estimates variable consideration under our return allowance programs for goods returned from the customer for various reasons, whereby a sales return reserve is recorded based on historic return amounts, specific events as identified and management estimates. The Company’s reserve for sales returns as of June 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023 were approximately $332,000 and $900,000, respectively.
The Company disaggregates revenues by product line and major geographic region as most of its revenue is generated by the sales of karaoke hardware and the Company has no other material business segments (See NOTE 10 – SEGMENT INFORMATION).
Revenue is derived from five different major product lines. Disaggregated revenue from these product lines for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 consisted of the following:
SHIPPING AND HANDLING COSTS
Shipping and handling activities are performed before the customer obtains control of the goods sold to them and are considered activities to fulfill the Company’s promise to transfer the goods. For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, shipping and handling expenses were approximately $60,000 and $46,000, respectively. These expenses are classified as a component of selling expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.
THE SINGING MACHINE COMPANY, INC AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2023 and 2022 (Unaudited)
The Company follows the provisions of the FASB ASC 718-20, “Compensation – Stock Compensation Awards Classified as Equity”. ASC 718-20 requires all stock-based payments to employees including grants of employee stock options, be measured at fair value and expensed in the condensed consolidated statements of operations over the service period (generally the vesting period). The Company uses the Black-Scholes option valuation model to value stock options. Employee stock option compensation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 includes the estimated fair value of options granted, amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire portion of the award. For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the stock option expense was approximately $63,000 and $16,000, respectively.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS
Research and development costs are charged to results of operations as incurred. These expenses are shown as a component of general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, these amounts totaled approximately $42,000 and $17,000, respectively.
INCOME TAXES
The Company follows the provisions of FASB ASC 740 “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributed to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax base. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. If it is more likely than not that some portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recognized. As of June 30, 2023, and March 31, 2023, the Company had recognized a valuation allowance of the entire net deferred tax asset as management has determined it was more likely than not that the deferred tax asset would be realized.
The Company recognizes a liability for uncertain tax positions. An uncertain tax position is defined as a position in a previously filed tax return or a position expected to be taken in a future tax return that is not based on clear and unambiguous tax law and which is reflected in measuring current or deferred income tax assets and liabilities for interim or annual periods. The Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company measures the tax benefits recognized based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution.
As of June 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, there were no uncertain tax positions that resulted in any adjustment to the Company’s provision for income taxes. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in its provision for income taxes. The Company currently has no liabilities recorded for accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax provisions.

Basic net income (loss) per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution assuming shares of common stock were issued upon the exercise of outstanding in-the-money options and the proceeds thereof were used to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at the average market price during the period using the treasury stock method.
For the three months ended June 30, 2023, options to purchase shares of common stock and common stock warrants were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share as the result would have been anti-dilutive.
For the three months ended June 30, 2022, options to purchase shares of common stock and common stock warrants were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share as the result would have been anti-dilutive.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses” (Topic 326). This ASU represents a significant change in the current accounting model by requiring immediate recognition of management’s estimates of current expected credit losses. Under the prior model, losses were recognized only as they were incurred, which delayed recognition of expected losses that might not yet have met the threshold of being probable. The Company adopted ASU 2016-03 on April 1, 2023 and the adoption did not have any material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

A summary of property and equipment is as follows:
Depreciation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was approximately $183,000 and $58,000, respectively. During the first quarter ended June 30, 2023, we decided not to renew our lease on our California warehouse facility and have opted to transfer our logistics operations to a third-party logistics company and all assets located at this facility will be sold or otherwise disposed of by the end of August 2023. As a result of these operational decisions, we recognized accelerated depreciation expense on certain assets to be sold in the amount of approximately $122,000 to reflect their adjusted fair market value as of June 30, 2023. This acceleration accounted for the majority of the increase in depreciation expense in the three months ended June 30, 2023.

On October 14, 2022 the Company entered into the Credit Agreement with Fifth Third, as Lender replacing the Company’s credit facilities with Crestmark and IHC that were terminated by the Company on October 13, 2022.

A return program for defective goods is negotiated with each of our wholesale customers on a year-to-year basis. Customers are allowed to return defective goods within a specified period of time after shipment (between 6 and 9 months). The Company does make occasional exceptions to this return policy and accordingly records a sales return reserve based on historic return amounts, specific exceptions as identified and management estimates.
The Company records a sales reserve for its return goods programs at the time of sale for estimated sales returns that may occur. The liability for defective goods is included in the reserve for sales returns on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

| CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT AND SALES RISK | NOTE 14 – CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT AND SALES RISK
The Company derives a majority of its revenues from retailers of products in the United States. The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts is based upon management’s estimates and historical experience and reflects the fact that accounts receivable are concentrated with several large customers. At June 30, 2023, approximately 79% of accounts receivable were due from four customers in North America that individually owed over 10% of total accounts receivable. At March 31, 2023, 79% of accounts receivable were due from three customers in North America that individually owed over 10% of total accounts receivable.
The Company generates most of its revenue from retailers of products in the United States with a significant amount of sales concentrated with several large customers, the loss of which could have an adverse impact on the financial position of the Company. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, there was one customer who individually accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s net sales. Revenue derived from this customer as a percentage of net sales was 86%. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, there were two customers who individually accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s net sales. Revenue derived from these customers as a percentage of net sales were 50%, and 37%, respectively. |

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its Macau Subsidiary, SMH, SMCL, and SMCM. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation for all periods presented. The accompanying unaudited financial statements for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) applicable to interim financial information and the requirements of Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by US GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements.
In the opinion of management, such condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for the fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial position and the condensed consolidated results of operations. The condensed consolidated results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The condensed consolidated balance sheet information as of March 31, 2023 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with that report.

| USE OF ESTIMATES | USE OF ESTIMATES
The Singing Machine makes estimates and assumptions in the ordinary course of business relating to sales returns and allowances, warranty reserves, inventory reserves and reserves for promotional incentives that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty; therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Historically, past changes to these estimates have not had a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. However, circumstances could change which may alter future expectations.

| COLLECTABILITY OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE | COLLECTABILITY OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
The Singing Machine’s allowance for doubtful accounts is based on management’s estimates of the creditworthiness of its customers, current economic conditions and historical information, and, in the opinion of management, is believed to be in an amount sufficient to respond to normal business conditions. Management sets 100% reserves for customers in bankruptcy and other allowances based upon forecasted collections and historical collection experience. The Company is subject to chargebacks from customers for co-op program incentives, defective returns, return freight and handling charges that are deducted from open invoices and reduce collectability of open invoices. Should business conditions deteriorate or any major customer default on its obligations to the Company, this allowance may need to be significantly increased, which would have a negative impact on operations.

| FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION | FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
The functional currency of SMH is the Hong Kong dollar. The financial statements of the subsidiary are translated to U.S. dollars using period-end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange for the period for revenues, costs, and expenses. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions are recorded in the statements of operations and translations would be recorded in a separate component of shareholders’ equity. Any such amounts were not material during the periods presented.
SMC sells to distributors and retailers in the Canadian market, and is paid in Canadian dollars. We receive payment in the form of the Canadian dollar, simultaneously presenting these payments for deposit and requesting an immediate spot conversion by the financial institution that currently holds our operating accounts.

| Concentration of Credit Risk | Concentration of Credit Risk
At times, the Company maintains cash in United States bank accounts that are more than the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured amounts. The Company also maintains cash balances in foreign financial institutions. The amounts at foreign financial institutions as of June 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023 were approximately $23,000 and $174,000, respectively. The Company regularly monitors the financial stability of these financial institutions and believes that it is not exposed to any significant credit risk in cash and cash equivalents. However, in March and April 2023, certain U.S. government banking regulators took steps to intervene in the operations of certain financial institutions due to liquidity concerns, which caused general heightened uncertainties in financial markets. While these events have not had a material direct impact on the Company’s operations, if further liquidity and financial stability concerns arise with respect to banks and financial institutions, either nationally or in specific regions, the Company’s ability to access cash or enter into new financing arrangements may be threatened, which could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.
Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist of accounts receivable.

| INVENTORY | INVENTORY
Inventories are comprised primarily of electronic karaoke equipment, microphones and accessories, and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, as determined using the first in, first out method. Inventories also include an estimate for the net realizable value of expected future inventory returns due to warranty and allowance programs. As of June 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, the estimated amounts for these future inventory returns were approximately $116,000 and $555,000, respectively.
The Company reduces inventory on hand to its net realizable value on an item-by-item basis when it is apparent that the expected realizable value of an inventory item falls below its original cost. A charge to cost of sales results when the estimated net realizable value of specific inventory items declines below cost. Management regularly reviews the Company’s investment in inventories for such declines in value. As of June 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, the Company had inventory reserves of approximately $710,000 and $900,000, respectively, for estimated excess and obsolete inventory.

| LONG-LIVED ASSETS | LONG-LIVED ASSETS
The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever circumstances and situations change such that there is an indication that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If the undiscounted future cash flows attributable to the related assets are less than the carrying amount, the carrying amounts are reduced to fair value and an impairment loss is recognized in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360-10-05, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” No impairment was recorded as of June 30, 2023 and 2022.
During the first quarter ended June 30, 2023, we decided not to renew our lease on our California warehouse facility and have opted to transfer our logistics operations to a third-party logistics company and all assets located at this facility will be sold or otherwise disposed of by the end of August 2023. We recognized accelerated depreciation expense on certain assets to be sold in the amount of approximately $122,000 to reflect their adjusted fair market value as of June 30, 2023.

| LEASES | LEASES
The Company follows FASB ASC 842, “Leases”. The ASC requires lessees to recognize leases on the balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The standard establishes a right-of-use model (ROU) that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than twelve months. Leases are classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement. (See Note 8– LEASES).
The Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease at the inception of a contract. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date. The liability is equal to the present value of the remaining minimum lease payments. The asset is based on the liability, subject to certain adjustments. Operating leases result in straight-line expense (similar to operating leases under the prior accounting standard) while finance leases result in a front-loaded expense pattern (similar to capital leases under the prior accounting standard). As the interest rate implicit in the Company’s operating leases is not readily determinable, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate to discount the lease payments. The Company utilizes the financing interest rate for its finance leases.

| PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT | PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is provided for in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of depreciable assets to their estimated useful lives using accelerated and straight-line methods.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS | FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
We follow FASB ASC 825, “Financial Instruments”, which requires disclosures of information about the fair value of certain financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value. For purposes of this disclosure, the fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation.
The carrying amounts of the Company’s short-term financial instruments, including accounts receivable, due from related parties, accounts payable, accrued expenses, customer deposits and refunds due to customers, approximates fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments. The carrying amounts on the finance leases and installment notes approximate fair value either due to the relatively short period to maturity or the related interest is accrued at a rate similar to market rates. The carrying amounts on the revolving line of credit approximates fair value due the relatively short period to maturity and related interest accrued at market rates.

| REVENUE RECOGNITION AND RESERVE FOR SALES RETURNS | REVENUE RECOGNITION AND RESERVE FOR SALES RETURNS
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with FASB ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. All revenue is generated from contracts with customers. The Company recognizes revenue when the control of the goods sold is transferred to the customer, in an amount, referred to as the transaction price, that reflects the consideration to which the Company is expected to be entitled in exchange for those goods. The Company determines revenue recognition utilizing the following five steps: (1) identification of the contract with a customer, (2) identification of the performance obligations in the contract (promised goods or services that are distinct), (3) determination of the transaction price, (4) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations, and (5) recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company transfers control of the product or service for each performance obligation.
The Company selectively participates in a retailer’s co-op promotion incentives to maximize sales of the Company’s products on the retail floor or to assist in developing consumer awareness of new product launches, by providing marketing fund allowances to our customers. As these co-op promotion initiatives are not a distinct good or service and the Company cannot reasonably estimate the fair value of the benefit it receives from these arrangements, the cost of these allowances at the time they are offered to the customers are recorded as a reduction to net sales. For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, co-op promotion incentives were approximately $91,000 and $296,000, respectively.
THE SINGING MACHINE COMPANY, INC AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2023 and 2022 (Unaudited)
The Company’s contracts with customers consist of one performance obligation (the sale of the Company’s products). The Company’s contracts have no financing elements, payment terms are less than 120 days and have no further contract asset or liability obligations once control of goods is transferred to the customer. Revenue is recorded in the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive for the sale of these goods.
Costs incurred in fulfilling contracts with customers include administrative costs associated with the procurement of goods are included in general and administrative expenses, in-bound freight costs are included in the cost of goods sold and accrued sales representative commissions are included in selling expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations as our underlying customer agreements are less than one year.
While the Company has no overstock return privileges in its vendor agreements with its customers, the Company does provide for variable consideration contingent upon the occurrence of uncertain future events. Variable consideration is estimated at the expected value or at the most likely amount depending on the type of consideration. Estimated amounts are included in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved.
The Company estimates variable consideration under our return allowance programs for goods returned from the customer for various reasons, whereby a sales return reserve is recorded based on historic return amounts, specific events as identified and management estimates. The Company’s reserve for sales returns as of June 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023 were approximately $332,000 and $900,000, respectively.
The Company disaggregates revenues by product line and major geographic region as most of its revenue is generated by the sales of karaoke hardware and the Company has no other material business segments (See NOTE 10 – SEGMENT INFORMATION).
Revenue is derived from five different major product lines. Disaggregated revenue from these product lines for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 consisted of the following:

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| SHIPPING AND HANDLING COSTS | SHIPPING AND HANDLING COSTS
Shipping and handling activities are performed before the customer obtains control of the goods sold to them and are considered activities to fulfill the Company’s promise to transfer the goods. For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, shipping and handling expenses were approximately $60,000 and $46,000, respectively. These expenses are classified as a component of selling expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

| STOCK BASED COMPENSATION |
The Company follows the provisions of the FASB ASC 718-20, “Compensation – Stock Compensation Awards Classified as Equity”. ASC 718-20 requires all stock-based payments to employees including grants of employee stock options, be measured at fair value and expensed in the condensed consolidated statements of operations over the service period (generally the vesting period). The Company uses the Black-Scholes option valuation model to value stock options. Employee stock option compensation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 includes the estimated fair value of options granted, amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire portion of the award. For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the stock option expense was approximately $63,000 and $16,000, respectively.

| RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS | RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS
Research and development costs are charged to results of operations as incurred. These expenses are shown as a component of general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, these amounts totaled approximately $42,000 and $17,000, respectively.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| INCOME TAXES | INCOME TAXES
The Company follows the provisions of FASB ASC 740 “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributed to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax base. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. If it is more likely than not that some portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recognized. As of June 30, 2023, and March 31, 2023, the Company had recognized a valuation allowance of the entire net deferred tax asset as management has determined it was more likely than not that the deferred tax asset would be realized.
The Company recognizes a liability for uncertain tax positions. An uncertain tax position is defined as a position in a previously filed tax return or a position expected to be taken in a future tax return that is not based on clear and unambiguous tax law and which is reflected in measuring current or deferred income tax assets and liabilities for interim or annual periods. The Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company measures the tax benefits recognized based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution.
As of June 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, there were no uncertain tax positions that resulted in any adjustment to the Company’s provision for income taxes. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in its provision for income taxes. The Company currently has no liabilities recorded for accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax provisions.

| COMPUTATION OF EARNINGS PER SHARE |
Basic net income (loss) per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution assuming shares of common stock were issued upon the exercise of outstanding in-the-money options and the proceeds thereof were used to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at the average market price during the period using the treasury stock method.
For the three months ended June 30, 2023, options to purchase shares of common stock and common stock warrants were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share as the result would have been anti-dilutive.
For the three months ended June 30, 2022, options to purchase shares of common stock and common stock warrants were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share as the result would have been anti-dilutive.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses” (Topic 326). This ASU represents a significant change in the current accounting model by requiring immediate recognition of management’s estimates of current expected credit losses. Under the prior model, losses were recognized only as they were incurred, which delayed recognition of expected losses that might not yet have met the threshold of being probable. The Company adopted ASU 2016-03 on April 1, 2023 and the adoption did not have any material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. |
